We pray for the moron
Luke learned a new word today. It’s actually a word he’s heard before, if he’s ever ridden in the backseat while daddy drives through rush hour traffic in Oakland, Ingham, or Kent Counties. I’ll just give you a recap. Mike said it best on Facebook:
“almost got in a fight this morning. It went a little like this; guy walks in, says the F word in front of my kids, I tell him to watch his mouth, he tells me to screw myself, I stand up, he runs out the door, I chase him out the door, he runs to his car, Mcdonalds employees give me free food.”
And then Luke spent all day reenacting the incident:
Can you make out the word? The word that is now confidently cemented into Luke’s vocabulary? Yes, the word is moron. I know it’s an insulting word for a 2 year old to be using but don’t worry, Luke remembered him when we prayed before bedtime. Right after he thanked Jesus for Mommy, Daddy, and his boxing gloves, he thanked Jesus for the moron.

This is amazing. Mike, you are a knight in shining armor! Swearing in front of ‘wimmin and kids’ used to be a no-no, and everyone respected it. But no more. Your actions resurrected a bit of chivalry, and that man will think twice before he opens his mouth in public again. Sure, it was a risk, but there comes a time when the risk is worth it. And free burgers to boot! Way to go.
